Everyone Except Me Is Reborn

Before the Lantern Festival, Yin Zheng was merely the second young lady of the Yin family, raised by her grandmother from childhood, unloved by her parents and disliked by her siblings. After the Lantern Festival, everything changed. Her family, who had treated her coldly, suddenly did whatever she asked. And countless talented scholars, wild young gentlemen, princes, and nobles sent betrothal gifts to her family, one after another, saying they wanted to marry her. Yin Zheng couldn't make sense of it. She coaxed the truth out of her naive younger sister and learned that her sister and everyone else behaving strangely had been reborn. In their previous lives, the regent Crown Prince had torn the Great Qing into pieces. It was Yin Zheng who held the entire Yin family together by herself, who went to great lengths to help the people in the midst of the chaos, and who married the Crown Prince and helped him rebuild the country after he brought it to the brink of destruction. In their eyes, Yin Zheng was a living bodhisattva, saving the suffering and shining with holy light. Only Yin Zheng herself was confused.

The first thing she did after arriving was get punished by being sent to kneel in the ancestral hall. Her uninformed aunt and younger sister came to visit. They seemed warm and concerned, but were actually mocking her. She calmly gave them a sharp retort. The Master and Madam of the Gu family, who knew where she had spent the last five years, came to lecture and advise her. They told her not to act recklessly again and to obediently wait for them to find her a suitable match. She closed her eyes and pretended to be dead, acting like a rebellious girl who didn't care what anyone thought. At last, her eldest brother arrived. The learned young master of the Gu family paced back and forth in front of her before finally blurting out, "The military camp is full of men! You... committing such a disgraceful act will bring shame on your sisters if word gets out. Do you understand?" Gu Fu finally dropped her carefree act and answered seriously, "Defending our home and our country is not disgraceful." When the emperor heard that the Gu family planned to marry off their second young lady, he immediately went to see the empress and said earnestly, "I regard the Gu family's second daughter as my own. I simply can't let her marry just anyone. If you have some time, Empress, why not help me with this and see whether there's someone in the capital worthy of her?" The empress: "..." Got it.
